Go Sabres! I feel a regulation win tonight. Might just be gas though.

It's asinine, but I understand It's his (💰) team, so it's his to do as he pleases; even if his pleasure includes running the ship aground... While I doubt that his intentions are what's being presented on the ice (for the last 15+ years), his "product" combined with his public relations behavior, leaves a lot to be desired IMO I HATE that he's presented himself as being sooooooo TONEDEF, or pig-headed (or whatever TF he is, psychologically) to the carnage that is the Buffalo Sabres His tenure as owner has been an, almost (downtown's revitalization is a nice gesture) complete disaster, and his inaction comes off as him seeing NO problems. No reason to make sudden, and/or drastic changes. This franchise is approaching life support-status, and from the Pegula camp..... crickets 🤬 He doesn't allow himself to be held accountable for his decade plus of TERRIBLE decisions, and in not making himself available, he's saying (without saying) that he really couldn't give 💩💩 about the public's perception, regarding his "leadership" of this franchise. He just throws his 'lil monkey boy Kevin at us, and that smug SOB's interactions prove to be nothing more than petrol on an already-brightly burning garbage fire!!! Palm 🌴 and taxes, you POS!!!! IDK? Maybe he does see the 💩 for what it is and doesn't know exactly what/how to make the next move? In not actually saying ANYTHING, he is leaving us to imagine the worst! What's painfully clear, to everyone witnessing this tragedy, is that he's bitten off WAAAAAY more than he can chew, and his current trajectory, if SONETHING isn't done, and ASAP is the absolute ruination of a once proud franchise and fanbase!!! This isn't Phoenix, AZ or Atlanta, GA. This is a legit hockey market, complete with a decent history and the upper echelon of a fanbase! Terry Pegula bought into one of the easiest pro owner scenarios, IF he knew how to do his job. Yet, in spite of the scenario BEFORE he became owner, he has this team/franchise on the doorstep of death, and yet, from his mouth comes.... NOTHING???!!!! The inaction is just wild IMO

Wake me up when Benson gets back

Son had a hockey tournament there recently and that's exactly how I pronounced it the entire time we were there. Gordon Lightfoot etched it in stone.

I love this skit

Yes there is

Finally decided winning is important.

ABU works. (Anyone but UPL.)

He is back. He probably feels better now. No point in arguing over what a person thinks someone else meant. Go Sabres!

As stated in a follow-on post, the assistance the Sabres got for Lehner was well after he'd gone a long time without help. Get him help when the issues were 1st arising and maybe we see a different result. As for Ullmark, have seen stuff claiming they did provide him with enough support and stuff claiming they didn't. Thus the use of the words "apparently" & "felt." Do hope that you're correct that they were as supportive as he felt they needed to be and it was simply (not really the right word, but hopefully you get what was intended by its usage) his dad passing while the world was shutdown due to Covid and that alone was why he wanted to move on. But wouldn't be surprised if there was more to it; they made him an offer that the Bruins then beat and they offered to then match that; that didn't sit well with him.

Always listen to music. All kinds of music. It’s good for the soul.

No.

Is there such a thing as an AHL prospect? That’s the only contract he has right now and that’s his future.

I highly doubt Pegula would sell the team versus have his eldest take over. Then she would likely hire someone like a Shanahan to run the team’s hockey department while she runs the business/ownership responsibility. You’d just need to find a way to let Terry be around and feel seen without having him interfere. Then he’d be happy and we would be too

Unsure if it had to be an operation or just merely a very important appointment. For instance, finding out if the heart is working right and isn’t being rejected and thus can start working it some to retrain her body and actually recover.

Wrong, they did get Lehner therapy for his depression issues. The Isles did better though by sending him to alcohol treatment. Ullmark was happy with the Sabres treatment of him during his mourning. He even made note to mention that in his article that the Sabres treated him well but he wanted to get a fresh start in a different venue because it reminded him too much of his Dad. (In part) Besides the whole Eichel thing, we’ve actually had a good track record with treating players well. Tage and his wife were also helped for instance.

This is what a real franchise looks like. Still want everyone from the Eichel disaster shown the door, but at least there’s finally a hint they’ve learned something. I would love to know if Ruff, Adams and TP were all on the same page in letting him go? This makes sense

I dunno... it takes a lot to get rid of existential dread. Almost as bad as exterminating cockroaches.

Dee-troy-it.

Lindy you of all people should know that any jolt that Dahlin gives this team, as great as he is, will be a short term jolt at best. The real jolt this team needs right now is for Adams to be fired immediately, followed by another jolt if we fail to make the playoffs again where you are replaced as well, as much as I like you as a person.

Its Saturday afternoon and I just don’t know if wasting my night on this team is in the forecast. Don’t get me wrong a win would make my night but there hasn’t been much joy in any of this yet this season. Not many positives at all. Hopefully Terrance Pegula is doing a slow cook on the staff he’s assembled and a loss might turn that up to broil but a win is what I hope for.

I don't think it's dread. It's indifference. Which is worse.

Note: 1 F-bomb makes the audio in this clip NSFW If you watch this, watch it four times: The forward facing cam The husband The wife The dog (Note, no cam car creatures were injured)

Vince Carter said in an interview about buying into the Bills that they dealt with Pegula’s daughter.

If Existential is a ten on the scale of dread, what is the normal amount of dread we Sabre fans experience on game day? “Spiraling” dread? If we were playing Card Sharks, I’d say “that's going to be a higher number”. Must Tie.
